This Ended Poorly: Black People Attempt to Tweet Their "Real Talk" About Race At Starbucks' Executive; He Blocks Them, Then Deletes the Account
Yeahhhh let's have that Real Talk About Race, Starbucks.
So @coreydu wants to have a talk about race, but keeps blocking POC who ask uncomfortable questions. Will you treat your baristas this way?
— Miss Anne Dri (@OHTheMaryD) March 17, 2015@coreydu so are you unblocking/blocking people who are actually engaging you on a conversation abt race? How #racetogether is a stupid idea?
— kid krage (@krageinsf) March 17, 2015Following the backlash, Starbucks' senior vice president of communications, Corey duBrowa, deleted his Twitter account, which added to critics' outrage. ... DuBrowa told Business Insider that he deleted his account because he was he was attacked by critics of the campaign. "I was personally attacked through my Twitter account around midnight last night and the tweets represented a distraction from the respectful conversation we are trying to start around Race Together," duBrowa said. "I'll be back on Twitter soon."Let me explain something to you, Jasper: If you want to have a Corporate-Sponsored Discussion of Race, one of the topics must inevitably be should we have a corporate-sponsored discussion of race? And if you're not willing to even entertain that question, you're not really willing to have a discussion of race. You should also be prepared for the fact that all "discussions of race" start and end with attacks on the motives of anyone identified as white, white-acting, or white-employed (is Starbucks just doing this to get black people to buy their coffee?!?!), and this is not only part of the discussion, but usually the entirety of the discussion. And if you're not adult enough and intelligent enough to recognize that "conversations on race" are chiefly group tribal attacks and coordinated tribal point-scoring, you're also not ready to have this "conversation on race" that you think you want. I got news for you, idiots: Schultz' idea of a conversation on race is one upper-class white progressive chatting with another upper-class white progressive about a Dickens of a story he heard on NPR. That's not what "discussions on race" really are, Idiots. Eh, why tell you about it? I don't want to spoil the surprise.
@AaronWorthing @USATODAY @Starbucks So this has become the militant social justice wing of airport commerce?

Posted by: Bruce J.
Pants were invented by Scythians and Bactrians, in the area around Eastern Turkey and northern Iran.
(Why? To make horse-riding easier.)
it wasn't Celts -- but Scythians and Bactrians would count as "white" in modern terminology too.
So, yeah, pants are a white thing.

Add a bunch of people -- many, no doubt, from an Oppressed Minority -- who have been given the chance to continue their bogus whining about race the way the media, Choom Boy and Al Sharpton have told them they have every right to do, and you're just asking for grief.
Stir in Social Media -- and it's one of the many reasons I avoid Teh Twitterz -- and you have a recipe for a disaster as tasteless as Starbucks' signature product.
Include me out. I've heard enough whingeing to last me several lifetimes -- so much of it since January, 2009 -- and when I pay those kind of prices for a cup of Joe, it better have a stiff shot of something tasty and alcoholic in it. An expensive shot.

A cup, a cup, of race hate!
Oh, slip me a slug from that race-baiting mug
Harangue me and shrug when I say you just bug.

"It's strange because an asset, by definition, is something the company owns."
An asset also depreciates over time. Employess are more like operational leases which both parties can terminate at any time.
"And if a company owns its workers ... "
The democrat party has always held that position, so companies that are owned by leftists see absolutely no irony when saying obtuse things like that.

(1) abject apology by Starbucks
(2) ritual execution of major executives
(3) scholarship fund created
(4) prominent SJWs appointed to the board
(5) further payoffs as warranted until the host is drained dry
Which is why you stay the heck away from the SJWs and their turf.

I have one more ep; got that far might as well as finish.
Ironically, there is a scene in the show where one of the agents, during an interrogation, dangles a literal carrot and stick in front of the suspect and says he gets to choose which way they go. If only the writers had figuratively chosen the carrot and not the stick; their hamfisted efforts to hit the audience over the head with anvilicious and historically erroneous lessons on postwar sexism sunk a perfectly lovely show. Self inflicted wound. Peggy, Jarvis, Stark were all acted beautifully and the costumes and sets were great. It deserved a better fate; dumb writers and showrunners.

Yeah. "Dialogue." One guy facing a panel of "experts" on the joys of butt-sex and man-boy action. I'm really sure the panel would be open to hearing what he had to say and getting a fresh outlook!
The left has no idea what "dialogue" means. (Just like they had no idea what "tolerance" means.) They just want to lecture and harangue.
They never go into a dialogue wondering, "Will this right-wing guy I'm about to talk to change my mind even just a little bit?" No. They just want their tried 'n' true reeducation camps.

The opposite, I think. When you're successful, and it seems that your future is secure, one is tempted to take one's eye off the ball and start branching into "Nice Things", rather than focusing on the core mission.
That's how the big market leaders lose their way and get replaced by leaner, hungrier, and more focused competitors.

Good for Kaus. Fox shouldn't be off limits. It's more GOP than conservative anyway (and I don't mean that in a good way) so it's a legitimate target of criticism.

Female spies have been part of our country before there WAS a country; the writers would have known this if they had bothered to do their research. Acting like Russia spies post WW2 are superior because they understand women can be just as deadly and cunning as men? Treating the American male spies like dumb lunks that only think female spies can get coffee? Please. Bite me, show.

A black student given 260 bonus points and an asian student penalized 50 points end up in the same class, in a real subject like mathematics or medicine.
Given that they are at different levels academically, is all subject matter brought down to a lower level so the black student doesn't bomb out? Is grading throughout university consistently skewed so the black student does better for lower quality work than the asian student?
Would this continue through medical school? Or engineering school?

So maybe this was an attempt on the part of the CEO to throw them a bone, so they won't burn and loot the place. He might have been trying to buy a bit of protection - but it didn't work.

Black student flunks out, goes to African American Studies.
Though, I do think there has been dumbing down of curriculum anyways.
I find it sobering to read WWII POWs applying engineering knowledge to MacGuyver clandestine radios; I don't have near their level of mastery, despite getting good grades throughout my academic years.
And then there's the push to get more girls through engineering.
Ratio was 2 girls in entire classroom to room full of guys in my first weeder engineer class. To get more girls in outcome wise, gonna take some shenanigans. My senior year project team also got assigned useless girl.

One of the worst effects of AA is that it puts marginally-qualified minority students in competition with much better students. It sets the AA student up for failure and the AA students end up dropping out at much higher rates than their non-AA classmates.
The irony is that if the AA student had been placed according to his unadjusted scores, he would have had a reasonable chance to succeed since he would be competing against others, minority and non-minority, at his real ability level.
It's just one more way that concerned libs fuck over the supposed objects of their concern.

BUT my co-instructor and I had to accommodate all sorts of students' supposed "issues." So we'd have to proctor a bunch of different versions of the exam -- either giving them special rooms to take it in (b/c they couldn't concentrate in a normal classroom) or giving them twice the time to take it, stuff like that. I think there was even a kid who required it be read to him. It was a real PITA, but we had to do it.

I figured the black kids were set up for failure. The other sad thing is that it actually reflects badly on those blacks who do well academically and didn't get any special breaks.
My god-daughter is black and went through a sports medicine program. She was always at the top of her class, helping out other students, excelling at the clinics, everything.
If she were in the US, there would still be the nagging doubt, legitimately, by many people that maybe she benefited because of her race, because the system allows that. Blacks who are legitimately brilliant, and who would have passed through without any preferential treatment have their accomplishments also tarnished.

Early in my career I defended a racial discrimination case where the plaintiff's lawyer was a black guy who never missed an oppportunity to remind me that he had graduated from Harvard Law School. I always resisted the urge to reply "if I was black, I would have gone to Harvard too."
Whether than guy got into Harvard on his own merits or had the rope lowered for him I'll never know, but that assumption will always be in the minds of his adversaries. It's poisonous for how it cheapens the achievement of the minority students who got into elite schools by meeting the "real" standards.

You are correct, I believe. Ironically, my Hungarian lineage goes all the way back to Spain, before the Inquisition. When the Germans occupied Hungary in '44, my grandfather was able to trace the lineage back that far, or else they would have been immediately deported to Auschwitz (lots of Poles and others escaped to Hungary, which although a German ally until March '44 did not deport anyone).

Yeah, I know another black guy that graduated Harvard Law school and everyone that supported him said he was the smartest person ever.
But I suspect there's a reason no one ever saw the guy's grades. And even if we saw his grades, I'd still want to strap in all of his professors to a lie detector and find out what his grades would have been if he was white.
I'm not going to drop names. I'll just call him...ugh...President Shit Midas....

I suspect that loss of height results from the confluence of decreased thickness of vertebral discs with the cumulative effect of decades of poor posture (the Tutor Turtle look, hunched over, shoulders rolled forward, neck bent upwards to look straight ahead). It's very common among academics, after years of hunching over books (and now computer screens), and in their old age, many are incapable of standing up straight.

I believe that Franco actually sent people with blank Spanish passports to Germany. They'd hang around when the cattle cars were being loaded and when they saw a someone, particularly the father of a family, that looked vaguely Spanish, they'd pull him out and ask him "Were your ancestors expelled from Spain, perchance (say 'yes!')?" Oh they were? That makes you a Spanish citizen...sign here. Oh, your wife and kids are Spanish citizens as well. Hey Kommandant! These are Spanish citizens! You can't lock them up!"
Supposedly they saved about a hundred thousand people...

J.J. years ago, I picked up a cookbook called "The Book of Jewish Food" at a yard sale. (I have quite the cookbook collection.) It was compiled by a Egyptian Jewish woman named Claudia Roden, whose family ended up in London after being run out of Cairo by Nasser.
It's a fascinating book - divided into Sephardic and Ashkenazic sections and with histories (and recipes) from every country the Jews have settled in in numbers, from Persia and India to Spain and Poland and Russia. I recall she said Ashkenazi family recipes which included oranges often indicated the family had roots in Spain, since they were a trademark of Spanish Jewish cooking.

I've never had to do that. There was the family dog when I was 15, but my parents made the decision.
I went for decades without having a pet, then adopted two kittehs from the same litter in 2000. One died suddenly of natural causes at age 7 (there was no autopsy, but the vet thought it was probably a heart defect), and the other is 15 now. She still seems to be healthy, but I thought the same thing about her brother 8 years ago.

You reminded me of something. When I graduated HS we had the family party, old Great Aunt Ora was there. I gave her some family stuff to read in German.
Must have got her German up cause she quoted something her father, German immigrant, told his kids. I forget the German, but it equated to stand up straight. It stuck w/ me for some reason, I guess cause I knew he was a remarkable guy. It just made me straighten up often thru the years.

My mother Virginia broke her hip about a week ago. She had been sitting reading and unbeknownst to her her leg had fallen asleep, so when she stood up too quickly she fell over -- hard. She managed to drag herself to the phone and get help.
She had to get hip replacement surgery, so now she's in rehab undergoing grueling therapy. She's a real Apache in the face of pain and tries to underplay it, but I know she's under a lot of stress.
She's a tough, classy, funny dame. Think Lauren Bacall, but with even more killer bone structure. She's my mother and my best friend.
A word in the ear of the big guy upstairs asking for her quick recovery would be great. Thanks so much!

If blacks decide to burn down Starbucks ... is it OK for me to just laugh and not do a fucking thing about it ?
Because I'm really thinking my appropriate response to a burning Starbucks would be sticks, hotdogs, and marshmallows.
Please advise.

Absolutely, Eris. Big prayers for your momma and a full recovery. Those spunky dames have a tendency to bounce back well.

I posted about that here once. I kept getting it wrong because the Hungarian situation was complicated.
From what I recall: Horthy made a big show of disliking Jews before 1944. Sometimes Hungarians at the local level carried out pogroms, thinking that, hey, we can get away with it now. Horthy himself seems not to have tolerated these actions and to have punished those responsible.
Under the German occupation, well, things got worse.

Oh, I forgot to add, Mom didn't tell me this herself because she didn't want to worry me. Her cousin finally broke down and called me. Moms!
So thanks for the prayers -- if you don't think it'll inconvenience God! She hates to bother him with trivial matters, he's a very busy man.

Oh God, I just choked on my wine because of this sock name.
Posted by: DangerGirl at March 17, 2015 09:33 PM
Ditto here. We were all in stitches, just had to tell the others.
Didn't choke on my wine tho.
Huh, it's St Pat's, of course I can drink at work. They gonna fire me? Run that by Lois Learner and a host of others.

The big guy tracks the hairs on our heads. Don't fret about what's trivial.

Very sorry to hear that.
The best advice I can give is "Do The Physical Therapy"!
My spouse has had both hips replaced and I can tell you the the re-hab is VITAL!
It is inconvenient, and painful, but you must do it or you will be a cripple for ever.
If you do the PT and the rehab, you can get your life back .
Sure, you will never "Bump-Ski" again, but you can walk.
Prayers for your mom...

Now, if you are of the "oppressor" class lamenting how oppressed the others are, then your best bet is to give up your privilege and live among the oppressed to truly understand their plight. My feeling is you will truly understand oppression, but not from who you were expecting.
